Saints be praised! Denny Hamlin's stolen car is recovered!

When the news broke last week that someone had stolen Denny Hamlin's car, my first question was, "Where would they go? They're on an oval track, and it's not like you could hide that No. 11 in traffic ... " And then when I realized they weren't talking about his Sprint car but his car car, it made a bit more sense. I was still giggling, of course -- sorry, Denny. Apparently, somebody -- two somebodies, according to security footage -- walked right through Denny Hamlin's gate and swiped his Lexus right out of his driveway. That's some huevos right there.

Anyway, word now comes down that Charlotte police have made an arrest in the theft. On Saturday, police spotted the Lexus, ran the tags and discovered it was stolen. They arrested the driver, a woman named Tomaceeta Hampton, who apparently was not one of the original thieves. According to reports, police are expecting to make further arrests, which is code for "she's rolling over faster than a plateless car in a Talladega wreck."

Anyone want to bet that the thief turns out to be Paul Menard, desperate for a good ride?
